Editorial : About the AuthorAndrew Jenkinson has been following the UK caravan industry since 1969, and has amassed a vast archive covering over 80 years of caravan/motorhome information. He has written four books on caravan history, motorhome history, and second-hand purchasing. Very prominent in the field, Andrew consults the caravan industry on its heritage. He has written two magazine supplements for Lunar Caravans and Bailey Caravans, profiling them, and contributes to all UK caravan magazines.
The first book written on Sprite Caravans, and the first UK book to cover one brand of touring caravan.Sprite became the caravan that brought many families into the hobby from the early 50s, and this book examines just how prolific the brand was, not only in the UK, but on a global basis too. It tells how Sprite mastered mass production in caravans, and how it pioneered rigorous testing procedures, with plenty of illustrations of this taking place. Sam Alper OBE, the founder of Sprite, marketed caravanning as a pastime, and proved that caravans were safe and easy to tow, with simple designs both inside and out that could also be appealing to buyers. Much of the rare promotional mock-up material he used to do this is reproduced in the book, along with rare press shots of stars from the Carry On films, some of which featured Sprite Caravans. Comprehensive, unique, and totally up-to-date, this is essential reading for enthusiasts.
Anyone interested in the evolution of educational institutions will find this book valuable.. The stories were entertaining and inspiring. But showing a limo based on the bustleback Seville and saying it's a 1975 model is just wrong. Built around a wealth of rare and high quality photographs, the editorial content is intentionally limited to what amount to biographies of the individual cars showcased, with some brief background on production dates and costs. Retired Administrator of the Alhambra Municipal Court. Otherwise, do your own research on the comments to verify the statements.. They lay down an essential foundation for the beginning designer.
As much as I like Varnum's book though, I must interject a word of warning here. Judge Smith takes the reader thru his military, scholastic, private practice and judicial/arbitration careers in non stop fashion. There is a constant reference to formulas written in previous chapters. One of the things I like best about this book
